More on Independence
n Let random variables X and Y both have Gaussian
distributions
n If X and Y are independent, then X and Y are jointly
Gaussian (i.e. the joint PDF of X and Y follows the
bivariate Gaussian distribution with ρ = 0)
n If X and Y are not independent, then X and Y being
Gaussian does not imply that X and Y are jointly Gaussian
(i.e. the joint PDF is not that in Definition 4.17)

It means that both X and Y are Gaussian
